UNSUNG HERO

Ann Strother
In a Connecticut homecoming, the UConn grad hit the Fever's only 3-pointer and finished with five points in nearly 17 minutes.

QUOTABLE

Tan WhiteOn the Fever's recent struggles:
"A lot of teams are just getting after us and showing us no mercy. They outhustled us, and we didnít come out hard. You canít get behind like that on an opponentís home court."

Brian WintersOn Connecticut's 50 percent shooting and nine 3-pointers:
"[Connecticut] shot it well, but our defense wasnít what we need it to be. They made all the shots, they executed, they did everything they needed to do. They scored 27 points on threes. We needed to make them put the ball on the floor, but we didnít do it."

On playing again on Sunday:
"Iím happy to be playing again. Iím happy to move on and get this bad taste out of my mouth. Iím looking forward to getting after Sacramento tomorrow."

K.B. Sharp matched a career-high with 14 and Tammy Sutton-Brown chipped in nine for Indiana (17-11). The Fever, who lost Tamika Catchings to a foot injury on July 20, have now lost seven of their last eight. Catchings had been averaging over 16 points and nine rebounds.

Connecticut jumped out to an early 11-5 lead, and was up 25-15 after one quarter thanks to 10 points from Douglas.

They extended that to 20 points, 42-22, with 3:09 to go in the half, and were up 49-24 at the break after Douglas hit a 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining. The Sun shot 50 percent from the field, including 58 percent in the first half, when they hit 8-of-9 from 3-point range.

The Sun led 67-44 after three.

Connecticut has won 10-of-11. They started the season 6-10, before going 9-2 in July.

Indiana is 0-3 against the Sun this season, and has not beaten Connecticut since last Aug. 11.

The teams play one more time during the regular season, on Aug. 15, and could be destined for a matchup with one another in the upcoming WNBA Playoffs.
